Marie Cargill is not a vet. She has NO vet training.
by lovemydogmore at Citysearch
I took my dog to her with hopes she might alleviate her pain and inflammation due to arthritis. Marie is not very communicative but I soon realized that is because she has no formal training for dog acupuncture- a big concern! I assumed she was a vet- especially since she was quick to criticize my vet prescribed diet and current therapies for my dog's arthritis but when I asked her questions she admitted she had not been schooled in veterinary medicine at all. My dog was flinching and uncomfrtable with the treatment and Marie just shrugged. My feeling is if a treatment causing discomfort one of two things needs to happen- 1/ an explanation 2/ a change- Marie basically stuck pins in my dog and disappeared for over 40 minutes while my dog was in obvious discomfort. Marie was indifferent to that discomfort and that is the gauge I think she ultimately completely failed for me. She offered no explanation, no change in plan to try, nothing. She just quietly shrugs and goes back to her people patients who are her bread and butter and who she cares more about. I suggest Leah Postman- she is pricey but hey- she is a real vet and as one she can actually offer an educated perspective and a mix of western and eastern medicine.
- Pros: Is cheap comparatively
- Cons: She is not knowledgeable about vet needs of animals
